DON VS THE DON

Donald Trump ‘was threatened with CASTRATION when he tried to bed notorious gangster’s daughter in the 1980s’

New Jersey gambler Robert Libutti, who reportedly had connections to mob boss John Gotti, was one of Trump Plaza casino’s best customers

DONALD Trump was nearly castrated by an angry New Jersey mobster after the billionaire tried to bed the gangster’s daughter, according to a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist.

Author David Cay Johnston alleges that the Republican Presidential candidate fell in love with the off-spring of high-rolling gambler Robert Libutti – while he was still married to his first wife Ivana.

In his book The Making of Donald Trump, Johnston reports horse dealer Libutti had connections to notorious New York mob boss John Gotti.

The property tycoon allegedly ‘moved on’ the gangster’s daughter Edith Libutti in the late-1980s while her father was one of Trump Plaza casino’s best customers.

According to the book, when Libutti got wind of Trump’s intentions, he told him: “Donald, I’ll f-----g pull your balls from your legs.”

Before this threat, the book claims The Donald had fallen madly in love with Edith and lavished her with gifts.

He even threw her a 35th birthday party and gifted her an expensive Mercedes-Benz convertible.

But the threat of castration was apparently enough to scare off the Manhattan magnate.

A investigation claims that LiButti was a ‘major profit source’ for one of Trump’s four New Jersey casinos – which may be another reason behind the firebrand politician not pursuing an affair with Edith.

State documents show the horse dealer’s gambling losses earned Trump Plaza £9 million between 1986 and 1989.

Meanwhile, Trump took his ‘roasting’ of Hillary Clinton at a charity dinner too near the knuckle on Thursday, and was booed by the audience for his cutting jokes.

It was only 24 hours after their bad-tempered final Presidential debate and the pair were facing off again and the atmosphere was more than a little frosty.

And when the billionaire joked his opponent was “corrupt” and was “pretending not to hate Catholics”, there were audible boos from the crowd.

The presidential nominees were speaking at the Al Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, held at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York.
